Minnesota Point, also known as the Park Point neighborhood of Duluth, Minnesota, United States; is a long, narrow sand spit that extends out from the Canal Park tourist recreation-oriented district of the city of Duluth. The Point separates Lake Superior from Superior Bay and the Duluth Harbor Basin. Lake Avenue South / Minnesota Avenue serves as a main route in the community.
Stretching for 7 miles, the skinny sandspit of Park Point in Duluth is the quintessential beach settlement and the birthplace of the city.
One side of the spit looks out over the blue waves or screaming storms of Lake Superior; the other side marches along Superior Bay with views of passing freighters and recreational boats or birds soaring over the harbor.
Sandwiched between two waters, Park Point seems so fragile, but it’s been here for about 5,000 years. Coupled with its shorter twin, the 3-mile-long Wisconsin Point across the Superior Entry, it becomes the world’s largest freshwater sandbar.
